Dear Members,

The Ravens was founded 50 years ago to provide local children and their parents a community club to play with. We are focused on providing fun for children, players, parents and supporters.  We believe that Sport and Community have a lot to offer all ages. The satisfaction of giving it your all and working as a team are prized at the Ravens.

Here are three simple codes of behaviour that will ensure that we all enjoy our football. (Player, Coach, and Parent/Spectator)

Crust Pizza - A Proud Partner of the Gladesville Ravens

At Crust we've said ciao to the days when pizza was a cheap and nasty experience

Pizza shouldn’t leave you feeling greasy and ashamed. It should be a delicious way to eat when life’s too busy or you simply just fancy your favourite. It used to be that you had to choose between a quality pizza or home delivery. Not any more.

At Crust we bring restaurant quality gourmet pizzas, piping hot to your door.
